Drawing Closer

Sorry if this review sucks it is 3am and I am running on 2 hours of sleep. I have so much to say about this movie, I don’t even know where to start. I will say that I started crying only 10-15 minutes in. I was sad before I watched this movie, and I wanted a sad movie to watch to make me feel better.  This is the saddest love story I have ever watched. I suppose it isn’t sad if you think about the good that both of them brought each other. When they started from “And so, the boy who was afraid to die met the girl who was looking forward to it.” the fact that they both changed their views because of each other is so heartwarming. Their story reminds me of the one quote, “you cant let your soul die while your heart is still beating.” I am not sure who made this quote as I have had it saved for awhile now, but the reason that this quote reminds me of this story is because they both lived for each other even though both of them knew the truth they didn’t let that affect the present.. they didn’t let that fact destroy the happiness they could have with the little time left. The expressing of “I love you” in a way only they could understand, was so depressingly sad but also sweet. This movie was so inspiring and hopeful to me, it was beautifully poetic. I could say so much about this movie, but I will leave it with three simple phrases.  3 years. 3 Gerberas. 3 heartbreaks.
